Compare the ways in which the elements sodium and carbon form chemical bonds.?
Sodium forms ionic bonds. Carbon forms covalent bonds.
What the binary ionic compound name for NaBr?
Sodium Bromide
Does sodium form a covalent transferring or ionic transferring or ionic sharing bond with chlorine?
Covalent bonds are between non-metals only. Ions in covalent bonds share electrons. Ionic bonds are between a non-metal and a metal and the ions transfer electrons. Sodium (Na) is a metal and chlorine (Cl) is a non-metal. Therefore, sodium and chlorine form an ionic bond, in which ions transfer electrons.
Is sodium tripolyphosphate a ionic compound?
Short answer both ionic and covalent! The bond between the sodium (metal) and phosphate (PO43-) (nonmetal) is ionic. The bonds between the phosphorous (nonmetal) and the oxygen (nonmetal) atoms are all covalent. The trick is to treat a covalent compound (PO43-, CO32-, etc) as grouped together when balancing charges, looking for ionic bonds, etc.
Does Sodium acetate contain ionic and covalent bonds?
Yes, it contains both. The sodium forms an ionic bond with the one oxygen with a single bond (not double) with the carbon, becoming the cation (positive charge). This oxygen and all other atoms in the acetate form covalent bonds.
Are ionic bonds important in Br2?
Bromine gas, Br2, has covalent bonds. However, the element bromine does form ionic bonds with other substances (sodium bromide, etc.).
What bond does sodium bromide have?
Sodium bromide is an ionic compound held together by strong ionic bonds.
Sodium bromide covalent or ionic?
NaBr is an ionic compound. Generally, a metal bonded with a nonmetal forms an ionic compound. Also, the difference in electronegativity between Na and Br is 2.03, which is definitely ionic.
Does strontium chloride have ionic or covalent bonds?
Strontium bromide is an ionic compound.
Does sodium dioxide have ionic or covalent bonds?
Ionic compound
What happens when an ionic compound forms between sodium and bromine atoms?
The compound sodium bromide is formed by the formation of ionic bonds between sodium and bromide ions.
Does NaF contain covalent bonds?
Sodium fluoride is an ionic compound, which contains no covalent bonds.
Does SBr2 has polar or nonpolar bonds?
No, it is non-polar.
Does borax have covalent or ionic bonds?
Borax, sodium tetraborate decahydrate, is an ionic compound containing Na+ and a borate anion that contains covalent bonds.
Is sodium a ionic or covalent bond?
Sodium hydroxide has ionic bonds. A compound never is any kind of bond.
Is sodium floride a covalent bond?
Na2OSodium oxide. An ionic compound between a metal and a nonmetal. Do not use covalent bonding naming rules for ionic bonds.
Is sodium carbonate a covalent compound?
Yes and No. The 2 Na CO3 bonds are ionic. but the C-O bonds are covalent
